More an event than a show, Jasper Coal's unique fusion of folk-punk and Celtic music draws influence from popular Celtic punk rock artists such as The Pogues, Dropkick Murphys, and Flogging Molly to more traditional artists from Ireland and Scotland such as the Tannahill Weavers, Planxty, and The Bothy Band. But the band's skilled musicians allow them to occupy an exclusive niche. Jasper Coal confidently blurs the boundaries between the modern and the traditional, transitioning comfortably between musical subgenres. They seamlessly blend the raw, uninhibited aggression of the folk-punk genre with authentic yet explosive renditions of traditional Celtic tunes.

Zach & Cheyloe are a _____ duo from the deep south. They, quite literally, draw a blank when it comes to genre. "Fire Tests Gold" may make you think of blues rock until "Without You" tumbles you headlong into indie folk. You may be able to hang out there for a while but eventually songs like "Actin' Like a Fool" or "Drag in Home Tonight" will take you right into the country and beyond. Z&C often march under the "alt-country" banner but their sound is a jigsaw puzzle: many different pieces that come together perfectly to create a picture of two people who love the craft of songwriting.
